So the argument actually is that the insulin is derived from a cows pancreas. Insulin failed animal testing because it gave the animals birth defects. Also the testing in animals led scientists to believe that it was a liver disease and later on in human experiments they discovered that it was in fact a pancreatic disease. Her argument (right or wrong) is that the animals that insulin is derived from are already dead (it's gathered from slaughterhouses) and that animals would want her to live as she can continue to fight the fight. What are other examples of animal rights hypocrisy as I haven't been informed of any of these?
